Exvangelical
Blake ChastainExploring the world inside and outside the evangelical subculture, one conversation at a time.

Podcast Addict3a year agoR H- Skipped throughout Sarah McCammon
I tried to hear the episode with Sarah McCammon as my debut to this podcast but it wasn’t listenable- it skipped throughout like an old cd and I couldn’t decipher it. I’m soooo bummed. Can someone fix this please? Or maybe it was just me?
I know I will love this podcast but seriously this is a big disappointment.
Apple Podcasts3nursecoopyUnited Statesa year ago - Really good resource
This has been a big help listening to this and being able to know you aren’t alone in your journey. Blake brings in good speakers and stories. That being said, Blake is also not a journalist so it can sometimes be a tough listen with a lot of repeating and filler words.
Apple Podcasts4MagsgfyguUnited Statesa year ago - Room for improvement
Not a bad show, but the host’s questions ramble on so long that he ends up talking more than the person he’s interviewing. I’d like more time to hear from guests.
